10. Which two of these statements correctly describe classic PIM-SM? (Choose two.)

A. The lOS default is for a last-hop router to trigger a switch to the shortest path tree as soon as a new source is detected on the shared tree
B. The lOS default is for every one of the routers on the shared tree to trigger a switch to the shortest path tree as soon as a new source is detected on the shared tree.
C. The default behavior of switching to the shortest path tree as soon as a new source is detected on the shared tree can be disabled by setting the value in the ip pirn spt-threshold command to infinity.
D. The default behavior of switching to the shortest path tree as soon as a new source is detected on the shared tree can be disabled by setting the value in the ip pim spt-threshold command to “zero.”

Answer: A,C

11. Refer to the exhibit above. Router E learned about the PIM RP (designated as 7.7.7.7) from four different sources. Routers A and D advertised the 7.0.0.0 network via EIGRP. Routers B and C advertised the 7.0.0.0 network via OSPF. Considering that all four Ethernet interfaces on router E could potentially lead back to the PIM-RP, when router E receives the first multicast packet down the shared tree, which incoming interface will be used to successfully pass the RPF check?

A. E0
B. E1
C. E2
D. E3
E. None of these interfaces will be used to successfully pass the RPF check.
F. All of these interfaces would successfully pass the RPF check.

Answer: A
Explanation: By default, if ECMP paths are available, the RPF for multicast traffic will be based on the highest IP address. See URL

 13. See exhibit. Two ISPs have decided to use MSDP and configured routers X and Y (both are PIM RPs) as MSDP peers. In the domain of ISP B, PC A has sent an IGMP membership report for the group 224.1.1.1 and PC B has sent an IGMP membership report for the group 224.5.5.5. Assuming that the MSDP peering relationship between routers X and Y is functional, and given the partial configuration output shown from router X, which two of these statements are true? Choose two.

A. Router X will contain an entry for 224.1.1.1 in its SA cache and will also have an installed (S,G) entry for this in its mroute table.

B. Router X will not contain an entry for 224.1.1.1 in its SA cache but will have an installed (*,G) entry for this in its mroute table.

C. Router X will not contain an entry for 224.5.5.5 in its SA cache but will have an installed (S,G) entry for this in its mroute table.

D. Router X will not contain an entry for 224.5.5.5 in its SA cache but will have an installed (*,G) entry for this in its mroute table.

E. Router X will have no entries for 224.5.5.5 in neither its SA cache nor in its mroute table.

F. Router X will have no entries for 224.1.1.1 in neither its SA cache nor in its mroute table.

D. It may transmit multicast traffic to the group at any time.
